If you could only keep one, which would you choose: Botkier Sasha Duffle (small size) or Rebecca Minkoff Nikki Hobo? I'm looking for something to use for years. I'm mid-20s with very few one-season-only/trendy items in my closet. Not a fan of super big bags, either.

(For the Botkier, I'm concerned about the recent complaints of quality. For the Minkoff, I'm a little iffy on the metal feet on the bottom.)

I read that thread and concluded that there were no big consistent problems with quality. And I do love the looks of that duffle; the small one is cute. That's my vote (but buy at a store with a good return policy and a discount code).

I have the Sasha duffle so I'm biased I have not had any quality issues with mine, although I don't use it as an everyday bag (I tend to carry it when I travel). The leather is really soft and smooshy, though it's not what I'd call thick/sturdy. I love its convertibility and unique styling; I've not seen the RM Nikki but I think the bucket/hobo style is more common. I don't think you can go wron with either but I'd vote for the Botkier!

I can't stoaaaaahp!!

I have the RM Nikki Hobo in navy and have to say that I love the feet on the bottom so that the leather doesn't get scratched when I put it down. that said, it is a big bag so if you are not a fan of big bags, you might want to skip it. Also, there is no real structure to it so when you put it down it just sort of slouches. It really depends on what you are looking for.
